Abstract: In-span hinges (ISHs) are located at the bridge deck of reinforced concrete box-girder bridges and are used to transmit vertical loads between two adjacent parts of the deck. ISHs are disturbed regions because of the complex ...

Abstract: During the last three decades, considerable research efforts have sought to improve the seismic design of California highway bridges. However, the in-span hinge (ISH) regions of concrete box girders have not been studied ...

Abstract: Teaching innovations in earthquake engineering with special attention to Bloom’s taxonomy is explored utilizing the versatility introduced by the hybrid simulation (HS) testing method. Such innovations focus on developing ...
